[bug]: Transferring between PS2 HDDs locally results in odd "Spider-Man 2" issue. #50

Issue

I'm upgrading my PS2 Fat's internal 1TB HDD to a 2TB SSD (Samsung 860 EVO).

I began by installing FHDB to it and tested to ensure it loads into OPL v1.2 without issues. Drive appears but is obviously blank. Time to transfer games by plugging both the old and new drives directly into my PC's motherboard (Win 10). When I load both drives on HDL Batch, it recognizes both as PS2 drives -- the old HDD as hdd2 and the new SSD as hdd3.

THE PROBLEM: When I use the transfer between hdds feature, no matter which games I select from the old HDD... It could be one random game or highlighting the entire drive to try to transfer them all in one shot... the end result is ONLY Spider-Man 2 gets transferred over. I even hooked the PS2 back up with the new SSD at this juncture and tested it. Sure enough Spider-Man 2 launches and plays fine from the OPL menu.

I plugged it back into the PC, started the HDD transfer process over to choose another game... the HDL is showing a transfer happening says "Finished!" but when I refresh the SSD-- no games were transferred. Just Spider-Man 2 showing.

expected behaviour

I expected the hdd transfer to copy over all of my games off the 1TB HDD to the new 2TB SSD.

Please check if any error message arises on the log during transfer

See my log of the transfer below. Appears to transfer Spider-Man 2 and nothing else. From start to "Finished!" takes about one minute.

transfer log.txt

No errors messages at all. After "Finished!" the log shows me loading up the hdd3 to browse what was transferred to it. Only Spider-Man 2.

Tried it again today with another random game on hdd2's list, as well as all games on the drive at once. This time, it decided to transfer Fantavision and nothing else. I loaded up both drives to compare their partition tables. Everything is accounted for with the same sizes between drives except for the +OPL partition.

Old hdd = 768MB +OPL New ssd = 128MB +OPL

Could this be causing this odd issue with transferring games somehow?

Also with this test -- I had both drives into SATA-to-USB3 enclosures and hooked them up to a different PC (Win11).

IMO, the transfer is aborted when an issue arise on one of the games...
